Here are just a few tidbits:The “summer slide” accounts for 85% of the reading achievement gap between lower-income students and their middle- and upper-income peers.1Twenty minutes a day of independent reading is all it takes to expand vocabulary and turn reading into a lifelong habit.1Children that read at least 4-5 books over the summer did better on reading assessments in the fall than their peers who read one or no books over the summer.1 Please complete the attached Super Reader reading log. This will count toward the 1st trimester 100 Book Club goal for the 2017-2018 school term. This log should be returned to your teacher during the first week of school.Criteria3rd grade – 30 pages = 1 book4th grade – 40 pages = 1 book4229100156845005th grade – 50 pages = 1 book We are hoping everyone will join us on this reading quest!
